The SOURCE – LGBT

At Fertility SOURCE Companies, we recognize that transitioning to egg donation when you might have hoped to conceive without third-party reproduction, or even fertility treatment, is difficult. Unless you were already aware of a fertility issue or are LGBTQ, it’s unlikely that you ever expected to need an egg donor in order to have a baby.

As a proud sponsor of Men Having Babies, Fertility SOURCE Companies is excited to attend the organization’s January 13-14 conference in San Francisco. We look forward to the event, and we hope you’ll consider joining us.

At Fertility SOURCE Companies, we understand that the process of third party reproduction with a gestational surrogate begs many questions. If you are about to embark on your journey to parenthood via gestational surrogacy, we’d like to clear up some common misconceptions.Read more

One of the more daunting tasks in the surrogacy process is selecting a surrogate. For many parents there is the worry that “the perfect match” is around the corner. It can be difﬁcult for some parents to make the decision to go forward with a particular surrogate not knowing what proﬁles might come available in the next day or week. This can be a nerve-wrecking game to play with oneself though. It is true that you may miss out on a surrogate that you “click with” even more than the surrogate you have selected, but you could also pass up on some amazing surrogates in the meantime.Read more

Whenever you combine the world of science with nature for any reason, the results are unpredictable to a certain degree. While advances in the area of infertility are constantly being made, there are still many unknowns. Knowing the risks in a donor cycle, and understanding them, before you begin your journey with an egg donor is an important step.Read more

Intended Parents have invested much time, funds, and emotions into their pathway to parenthood. They are placing their trust into individuals they have never, and may never, meet. Email, video calls, faxing, and other technology have allowed us to create a network of support to guide everyone involved through such an intimate process.Read more

Family building through egg donation and finding an egg donor can be a daunting process. You have dealt with your fertility struggle for a long time to get to this point and now that you have decided to go the donor egg route, where to start?Read more

The LGBT community has made massive strides in the past several years, with love winning above all in countless efforts for equality. The tragic events at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida remind us that we need to put love above all else and be there in support for humans on a human level, not just when tragic events occur but each and every day. #PrayForOrlandoRead more

I have worked as a match-maker and case manager for over 13 years and enjoy assisting Intended Parents in finding an egg donor for their cycle. One of the first questions that I hear from an Intended Parent is “How do I know which donor to choose?”Read more

Most of the questions we respond to from gestational surrogates and their intended parents (IP) have to do with their relationship before and during the pregnancy. One step at a time is how most try to get through their surrogacy journey as many IP’s have gone through unsuccessful attempts at IVF or pregnancy themselves, with or without the help of an egg donor. We advise surrogates and their intended parents not to involve children and other family and friends in the beginning of their journeys as it’s best to make these introductions after a pregnancy is achieved and medically stable. There are considerations at The Surrogacy SOURCE that we remind our clients of as we see how their relationships evolve.Read more
